Random vs. Periodized training
Since I started triathlon I've always been a pretty dedicated scheduler making sure I got my workouts in when everybody else was sleeping and making sure I never missed or at least made up any missed workout. Big follower of periods in workouts and nutrition.
Fast forward to January and the collapse of my personal life.
I've pretty much lost all desire to schedule or log anything in fact all that Im capable of is going completely random as I feel like it when I feel like it all the time....at first I let it slide and passed it off as once Im settled in the personal stuff I'll be right back at it...well the personal stuff I've come to much better terms with as of late. Doesnt mean the pain is gone Im still emotionally a wasteland but Im getting used to the idea of being back on my own and trying to figure out how to come out of all this a better version of myself forgivness being chief amongst my failures right now. One of my biggest lessons has been that man (even those who are closest to you) is completely fallible and God is the only one that never lets me down ever. I digress. Point is I feel like almost every other aspect of my life is completely out of control and my decisions are being made for me. This is where I need to let go and let him take control and trust in him and as a human it is my nature to try and do this on my own and that is in error. Im constantly finding myself giving it to him only to take it back again. I need to give this over to him, stop resisting, and let his providential hand move me towards his will in my life.
My training, something I DO have control over, shouldn't be that way I've got to make the commitment to return to some normalcy even though I know the worst is still to come in the other. Im starting to wonder what it will be like to go to my events by myself. Im kind of curious how my results will be doing the random training. I mean we're only talking about sprints how much can it hurt?
PS If you're struggling with losing that last 10 pounds your spouse leaving you is a fantastic solution. I was 174 before I'm 162 today and would really really like to hit 155 just to see how my weight affects my cycling.
